3 Mar 26 Reply Yes, the Original 2 image was the true original. I appreciate your comments. Mar 16th
3 Mar 26 Reply Thank you, Cindy. The swirling mist was lovely. Mar 16th
3 Mar 26 Reply Kieu-Hanh, I think it's a great idea to change the man's jacket color. He's in a great position, so just separating him more from the doorway would work well. Creative solution to the problem! Mar 16th
3 Mar 26 Comment Mary Ann, the rich fushsia color of the blossoms is lovely. Glad you took your photo before the storm. The differing angles of the petals add interest to the image. Overall, the photo looks a bit dark on my monitor. One option is just to raise the exposure on the selected flower. Adding a light border around the photo might also look pretty. Mar 6th
3 Mar 26 Comment Kieu-Hanh, the colors in your photo are vivid and well placed in the scene. It's interesting that Mykonos has doors in red and gold, instead of the turquoise that you see on Santorini. The colors against the white buildings are stunning. I like that you include the man walking. I'd prefer that he would be just against the white building, instead of partly against the black. However, the lines of the stone walkway still work effectively to move my eyes to the man. Well done, Kieu-Hanh. Mar 6th
3 Mar 26 Reply Rob, I'm glad you like the crop in Original 1. That's the image I entered in our club's competition, although I decided not to enter it as a "Negative Space" photo.

Even though I used 450 mm to shoot this photo, I used a lighter weight lens I borrowed from my son. I have a heavy 100-400 mm lens that I chose not to take on the trip. Instead I used a 200-400 mm mirrorless lens with a X2 extender. The lighter lens made it much easier to keep steady without a tripod.		 Mar 6th
3 Mar 26 Comment Robert, I especially appreciate how the light shines through the icy cairn. Not only did you remove the house in the background, but you lit up the sky with sunset colors. Very pretty! The closer crop works well. Glad you didn't have to risk your neck on your icy front yard. Mar 6th
3 Mar 26 Comment Cindy, you picked an ideal day to do your photo shoot. The colors of the maple by the Model A are beautiful. Adding the man in the tan coat brings interest to the scene. Cropping the photo as you did brings the car into a pleasant position using the Rule of Thirds. I like your play on "horse power." The man in your horse photo doesn't appear quite sharp to me though. It looks like your photo club had quite a treat with this set-up. Kudos! Mar 6th
3 Mar 26 Comment Andres, first of all, I like that you took this image in the evening when the lights of the ferris wheel shine. Adding the blur makes the scene more active and dynamic for me. I totally understand your dilemma of trying to replicate your steps after a month's time. For me, that's why I need to keep practicing, since a new process doesn't become automatic right away. I'm impressed that you continue to try new techniques, Andres. Mar 6th
